Haw Par Villa


Entrance figurine welcoming guests to Haw Par Villa

Now is when the figurines started getting weird

Looks more Japanese than Chinese, but oh well

Moms everywhere will appreciate this one

The Laughing Buddha

The Starved Buddha (he's not laughing now, is he)

Looks like one of the deformed figures from Toy Story. I have no idea what it is doing here, though

What a let-down

"Filthy Blood Pond"... right

Extracting human body parts, one of the ten parts of Chinese Hell.

Reasoning behind extracting the inner organs: not showing filial obediance (and I though the "Boogey man" stories were bad)

Chopping off limbs was another one of the punishments

Or being crushed under a stone

It should be clear by this point that the Haw Par Villa must have been Steven King's idea
